power for 24 hours, 42 hours and sometimes three days! Malindi is just here from Garsen.

On a point or order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think you have, on various occasions ruled on how we should optimally use the time of this House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a clarification from the Minister as to the following issues. One, is the Minister satisfied that congregating those individuals together is not a danger to the big public audience that gathers in front of them? Two, is the Minister satisfied that in the event of evacuation, given the fact that the President is always accompanied by about 30 vehicles the Prime Minister by about 20 vehicles and the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs by a similar amount of vehicles, the security of these individuals would be assured?
